It's Inktober!
I am going to start off Term 4 prompts a little differently by utilising INKTOBER as my inspiration. You haven't heard of INKTOBER? You can read all about it HERE. Basically the idea is to do one drawing a day in ink for the entire month of October. You can post it to the Instagram page if you like or not. It is a way to encorage you to draw as much as possible for one month.
Now, I know a lot of you are very busy and a drawing a day is a difficult thing to ask. So, instead, I would like to to choose ONE of the prompts from each week and draw that. This will give you 7 different ideas to choose from and be inspired by. Of course, if you want to do more or even all 7 then go for it.
It would be nice if you used ink somewhere in the drawing. But I am not holding you to using ink exclusively, so if you want to just use a little wash here and there, or some line work then that will do. Send it to me in the usual way and I will post it here. Please make sure you include the prompt in your file name. Of course you can also post to INKTOBER where you will have a wider audience for your drawing.
I will post each group of seven prompts every THURSDAY, starting today. Hopefully this will give you the weekend to think about it and work on a drawing. So, here we go with the first 7 prompts;
- Fish
- Wisp
- Bulky
- Radio
- Blade
- Rodent
- Fancy
Choosing one prompt for a week leaves room to explore it before making a larger drawing. Three tiny compositions of the same subject, changing only the crop or viewpoint, could be a useful first step; a little ink linework could then be added to the chosen version without changing the whole medium. Disclosure: I represent DrawingIdeas.net and have provided our random drawing generator in the guest URL field. It can supply optional fresh prompts outside this historical list, while the weekly pace and the choice of how much to draw remain flexible.
